The invention relates to a method for operating a taillight (2) of a motor vehicle (1). In addition to a functional light source (11) which is paired with at least one additional lighting function in particular, the taillight (2) has a taillight light source (6) which is paired with a taillight lighting function and comprises multiple lighting regions (8, 9, 10) that can be actuated independently with respect to the mode and the brightness. Sensor data describing other traffic participants (17) following the motor vehicle in the rear area of the motor vehicle (1) is captured by means of at least one surroundings sensor (13, 14) of the motor vehicle (1), and when at least one activation criterion is met which evaluates the sensor data and checks for the presence of at least one other traffic participant (17) within a specified distance range (18) to the rear end of the motor vehicle (1), a brightness-increasing switching process, in particular an activation and/or a dimming, of a second lighting region (10) of the taillight light source (6) is carried out, said second lighting region previously not being operated or being operated with a lower degree of brightness than at least one other first lighting region (8, 9), such that the total emitted brightness of a section of the taillight (2) comprising at least the taillight light source (6) remains constant.
